Parbati Beas valley of NW Himalaya forms one of the important geothermal regions. The well known<br />

structural features such as MCT and MBT forms part of the region. The important hot spring locations<br />

such as Manikaran, Vashisht etc can also be seen. After successful delineation of a large anomalous<br />

conductive zone near Puga region related to major geothermal reservoir, much attention is being paid<br />

to this region to explore the area for possible exploitation of resources. Two long profiles oriented one<br />

nearly in NS direction and the other in NE-SW direction with 30 broadband stations have been<br />

completed to map the deep geoelectrical structure with a station interval of about 5 km. Single site<br />

robust processing of the data gave consistent MT response functions after removal of local distortion<br />

effects using decomposition technique. The data are modeled with both TE and TM mode response<br />

functions using non-linear conjugate gradient algorithm. Anomalous shallow conductive features derived<br />

from the data are indicative of the possible presence of geothermal reservoir and deeper anomalous<br />

features are interpreted due to the presence of major tectonic features in the region.<br />
